We visited in June 2022.
This tour was the highlight of our pre-cruise stay in Athens. Alexander was an exceptional tour driver and provided such detailed information about the places we visited. He was helpful and accommodating when we needed a quick stop at Public Store for a plug adaptor for me as well. The lunch spot he took us to was delicious and he made sure we were hydrated with cool water throughout the day. Pre-tour communication with Olive Sea was easy as well as I’d accidentally reserved the wrong tour and wanted to be sure we got out to Eulisis as well. Email and WhatsApp communication was smooth and we loved the tour! Thank you.

This was a wonderful tour with a very well informed and kind guide, Petro. He explained in much detail about every objective visited, and also brought me to the best restaurant for my absolute must: Mousaka! :) Although the roads were closed due to the Athens marathon, Petro tried every other possibility while driving me through Athens - so in the end it was very enjoyable. He did everything possible to make me happy with my visit and provided super historical explanations while also engaging in interesting conversations about the world in general, life and wisdom. All in all I highly recommend him!!
